Bottle dated, 12/13/11.

Puffy head drops slowly to crowning lace around the inner walls of my pint glass. Lovely honey tangerine color to the body. Some center hop haze swirling around.

Flowery hop aromas and a biscuity pale malt accent in there, too. Some apple skin and cherry blossom smells, akin to a spring day. The hops are also a bit leafy/grassy. Great Centennial profile.

Great balance! Good malt profile with some lemon cake notes (crossed with the hops). Nice floral hop with a mild but lasting bitterness level (I prefer more hop attack; but, this is nice, too). A touch of pine with some woodsy characters. Still picking up lemon as the lone citrus element, but it's pretty concealed.

Mouthfeel is perfect! Slick and juicy. Nice reminder that she's carbonated well, but not overly. This is 'slam-back' city! So quaffable and thirst-quenching, I'll take one in a Big Gulp cup.

Absolutely a standard. Untouchable and unquestionable as a damn good IPA.
